I just performed in this play and, despite all the time I spent with it, there are ideas that still allude me. it forces you to ask many questions.
The book rings with authenticity but there is little to compare it to since this is one of the first books written in English about Afghanistan. I was very happy to find out that the author is an educated man (physician)who immigrated to the US from Afghanistan. Beyond the political and historical elements which are of such relevance, there are difficult issues of family relations, child abuse, and cultural issues.
The beginning left me wondering why all the hype. Got a lot better and I enjoyed the book. The end did seem to drag a bit after the mystery was solved. I guess that is the prelude to the next book.
Bagi sebagian besar pelajar dunia komputer di Indonesia, mungkin nama Romi Satrio Wahono, agak populer. Pendiri situs belajar ilmukomputer.com ini mempunya blog menarik di RomiSatrioWahono.Net dan sering menjadi jujugan untuk bertanya-tanya bagi pembacanya, masalah dunia informatika. Tulisan-tulisan di blog tersebut sudah dibukukan dengan judul "Dapat Apa Sih Dari Universitas?", terutama untuk postingan-postingan bertema pendidikan. Tak lupa, kisah Romi belajar di negeri maju, Jepang, tak luput diangkat di buku ini. Semakin kaya, dilengkapi dengan pengamatan Romi, bagaimana Jepang bisa semaju yang sekarang. Dengan bahasa yang tak terlalu teknis, rasanya buku ini patut menjadi pegangan, untuk meyakinkan kita, bahwa kita bisa "dapat lebih" dari dunia pendidikan kita.
The ending was so abrupt that I can't wait for the next one! :)
